‘लेक व्हावा एैसा गुंडा त्याचा तिन्ही लोकी झेंडा!’
The true meaning of this Maratha saying is understood when we see our king. Oh, what was our king, whose only name made the enemy tremble? It’s hard to put into words. But to put it in one word, only ‘Yugapurush’ (युगपुरूष) can be said about the king. This is called God in man, great man and divine avatar, isn’t it? If you think so, there is nothing wrong in it. God is the one who will save us, protect us, support us in our joys and sorrows, who will be with us like a shadow even if no one is with us, oh even the shadow sometimes leaves us. But God who does not give up, God is our soul. So tell me, what is different about the description of our Maharaj? Maharaj is the soul of all our Marathas. Maharaj is always with us in thought form. It was Maharaj who protected us and it is Maharaj who even today with his historical chapters helps us to suggest new ideas to protect ourselves. Hey there is no need to go to any temple, church or mosque, just respect the following, God himself, our parents or nurtures us and our beloved Maharaj. Also keep the following things tied to you i.e. your family, relatives and friends. Stay away from following people, selfish, evil and lazy. Then see your life will automatically become happy.
‘भल्यासी देऊ कासेची लंगोटी! नाठाळाच्या माथी हाणू काठी!
Looking at Maharaj, this old Maratha saying also comes to mind. Meaning of it as follows :
Maharaj was ready to give his life for the one who would risk his life for the sake of Swarajya. But even if someone thought of looking at this Swarajya with crooked eyes, Maharaj would not hesitate to take his life. Even if he is their close relative.
